Al Dharsee, Sales Representative, Right At Home Realty Inc. sold a 26 unit apartment building for $2,350,000. He placed it on ICIWorld and received about 10 calls in the first week from ICIWorld and 6 calls from his real estate board. One call was from a principal show saw it on ICIWorld and bought it.

Bruce Brown, Sales Representative, Ed Lowe Limited, Brokerage, Barrie, Ontario has done several deals over the years as result of connections made through ICIWorld. He receives leads through phone calls and networks with people. He says he likes the added exposure and that professionals should not ignore it.

A Century 21 Broker listed an office building exclusively for $1,650,000. Within 2-3 weeks of placing it on ICIWorld he received about 20 calls. He ended up selling it to a principal who had seen it on ICIWorld. Total commission was approximately $45,000. Some of these other buyers he is now working with.

He has had about six deals resulting from connections both directly and indirectly as a result of ICIWorld. He has sold a restaurant business, a triplex, he has leased half an office building over 6,500 sq. ft., for example and several more.

He says it is the easiest and most efficient method for both brokers and potential clients to find suitable investments for their clients. It certainly complements what is on his real estate board and fits together working side by side with his real estate board.

Hi Gary,
I would like to thank you for all your help and support. I recently sold (conditionally) an Apt building around the $13,000,000 and I located the buyer through ICI World.Although I advertised in the Globe & Mail and in the the Commercial Investor in addition to listing the property on the MLS, most of my solid leads came from ICI World.I contacted professionals via ICI World and they responded immediately. Thanks again for your support and I would like to book a webiner next week to better understand how to fully utilize ICI’s website.Also, you mentioned that CCIM will have designation courses in Toronto, can you please send me information in that regards,
Best wishes,
Guy Scheiner, BA

Just under $1,000,000 and another job well done.The introduction was done through ICIWorld and they used the MLS listing for information to draw the offer.

Hello Gary,Just to inform you that I have done 2 deals recently through ICI! It is, no doubt, the best online site in Canada for real estate – especially commercial. I’ve already sold:
“Bargain Shop” – in an extremely remote and small Northern Ontario area through ICI – another realtor saw my posting and come up with her client’s offer that has now been accepted.
Retirement Home in Niagara Falls – I contacted the owner who posted his ad on ICI – but was not able to sell on its own – the buyer saw it through my web-site and the deal has gone through – that was an example of using ICI and redirecting info through another marketing source.
I also got in touch with numerous investors and realtors through your website and most likely there will be more deals as a direct, or indirect, result of it.
Best Regards,
Leo Hara
